Effective wellness programs recognize the effect of building a supportive cultural environment. The workplace culture includes shared values/heartfelt beliefs about what is valuable. It includes social standards of expected and accepted behavior called “cultural norms.”
It includes peer backing from family, friends, and co-workers. This backing can help one adopt healthy lifestyles. Tools are available to audit a company.
The long-term success of any wellness program is dependent on the corporate culture.
Some healthy culture signs in a organization are:
staff members communicate openly
Leaders support diversity and opinion
workers have fun
Policies support wellness
staff members are encouraged to grow
staff members work together as a group
employees’ skills and talents are matched to their jobs.
Flexible work schedules are available
Employers consider workers as their most important asset
